Curran Coaching

Executive Coaching

I provide the highest quality professional coaching for individuals and teams within organisations across multiple industries including Financial Services, Tech, Professional Services, State bodies among others. The process starts with a goal and we work through to completing this goal on time and in full. I work with management at all levels from C Suite down. Having worked as a Managing Director for 18 years I am well placed to guide you through any challenge along the way. I subsequently went on to sell this business for an industry world record multiple of 16.5 times EBIDTA. Examples of client need and context include times of major change, a significant promotion, elevation to the Board or CEO level: times of career setbacks, wishing to develop or strengthen leadership skills, building a high performance culture.

High Performance Sports Coaching

This normally starts with creating a personalised 'High Performance Development Plan' for the client. This will identify where the client is currently versus where they want to go and includes a gap analysis plan to get there. This plan uses analytics to get precise goal and benchmark measurements for tactical, technical, strength & conditioning, nutrition and the all important mental side of sport. This is the process. Then we identify and develop what personal characteristics are required to execute this plan.

Life Coaching

Life Coaching can be useful in helping you address many areas of your life. Wherever you are stuck or blocked, and any areas that you’re unsure of or changes you would like to make, Life Coaching can be the perfect choice to help you move forward towards a happier life. Are you struggling with your relationships or are unfulfilled at home? Would you like to perform more effectively at work or achieve a better work/life balance? Do you need help finding your purpose in life and live authentically? Whether in your personal life, in your career, here are just some of the issues where Life Coaching can help you achieve real change

Career Coaching

Whether it’s a promotion you're seeking, a first job or a change in career I have years of experience of guiding and supporting clients on how to achieve their career goals. I will guide you through a process to help you achieve these goals. I offer a comprehensive career change coaching process, specifically designed to help you better understand what your ideal career would be clear on what your ideal career would be. You’ll learn about your values, strengths, interests, passions and work preferences. This clarity will be supported by a plan to get there. I will be there to support and guide you every step of the way.

Daring Greatly

Too many of us are held back from doing the things we want or need because of fear of failure, fear of being judged or rejected. This maybe something to do with a relationship, a new career, a promotion in work, a challenge in college or a sports dream. This process involves learning how to turn dreams into realistic goals with achievable action steps. We focus on the personal characteristics required to achieve these goals such as courage required to overcome our fears

About Niall

From Dublin, Ireland I have spent my whole life in both the business and the sporting worlds. I graduated in marketing from Trinity College Dublin and then went to work for United Drug plc for 8 years as Director of the Consumer Division. I was involved in a start up business which I grew and was Managing Director of for over 18 years. I subsequently went on to sell this business for an industry world record multiple of 16.5 times EBIDTA. I have always been obsessed with high performance service which needed to be delivered by high performing people. My strength was always developing and mentoring the team to be the best in class (world not Ireland). Many of these have gone on to greater things in their careers and personal lives. I have always had a love of sports, in particular GAA (Irish Football and Hurling) and Tennis. I have been involved in mentoring teams and individuals to the highest levels of business and sport. I am a Master Practitioner in NLP which I studied over 4 years in England and Ireland.
